What does it mean to moor a sailboat?
Mooring refers to lassoing, tethering, tying, or otherwise securing your boat to a fixed object, such as a mooring buoy, rather than dropping an anchor to secure your vessel anywhere you fancy. You can moor your boat to a mooring buoy, dock, quay, wharf, jetty, or pier.
1. : an act of making fast a boat or aircraft with lines or anchors. 2. a. : a place where or an object to which something (such as a craft) can be moored.
The Basic Differences
A boat dock is the actual structure of wood or metal where you're parking the boat and putting boat dock accessories. Mooring at a boat dock means securing it parallel to the dock and leaving three sides open to the water.
The word derives from the Latin term Maurus, first used by the Romans to denote an inhabitant of the Roman province of Mauretania, comprising the western portion of present-day Algeria and the northeastern portion of present-day Morocco.

A mooring is something you can tie your vessel to. It may be a buoy, a marina berth pontoon or jetty. An anchorage is a place where you can stop and secure your vessel using its anchor. In an anchorage, there may also be courtesy moorings you can tie your vessel to instead.
1. Mooring– a large cement block, typically placed on the seabed with a chain and rope attached to the boat. 2. Berth– a boat's allotted place at a wharf, dock or marina.
What is the difference between a marina and a mooring?
Mooring balls are inexpensive and easy to maneuver around, though you'll need a dinghy to get ashore. Slips are great for shore access and long-term storage and shore access, but marinas can be narrow and difficult to navigate in larger boats.
